Genealogical Society celebrates Family History Month

Ordinance Committee to review senior mobile home park overlay City Council to discuss regional fire dispatch center By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Members and guests of the Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society look through a library of resources during an open house event Sunday afternoon.

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society held its annual Family History Month open house Sunday — its first inperson event since the pandemic’s inception. The society, 600 members strong, has been holding events via Zoom over the past year and a half and opening its library during abbreviated operating hours. During this time, some members have died or moved away, and new members have joined — even from outside Santa Barbara County. The society’s volunteers are hoping the gradual return to inperson programs will bring more members of all ages. Rosa Avolio, one of the genealogical society’s board members, said a misconception is that the society focuses on local history. Members have resources to dig into worldwide ancestry. “Our members aren’t necessarily members because they’re researching Santa Barbara ancestors. They’re members because they want to learn how to do genealogy research anywhere in the world,” she said. There are special-interest groups, so members can delve into Irish, Italian, German, AfricanAmerican genealogy and more. Sunday, members presented an exhibit titled “Santa Barbara African American Life, Culture and Contributions, 1890s-1990s.” One project contributor said she was moved to tears as she saw the hardships faced by Black Santa Barbarians, a population that has waned after gentrification.

Attendees placed a sticker to show their ancestry. Their worldwide connections can be traced in the society’s library.

The Santa Barbara City Council’s ordinance committee will consider a proposed senior mobile home park overlay during its meeting at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. The overlay would retain Flamingo Mobile Home Park’s status as a senior park, despite the owners’ plan to shift to a family park. The park’s attorney James Ballantine labeled the proposed ordinance illegal and discriminatory. Mr. Ballantine specializes in mobile-home and RV-park litigation. The Planning Commission acknowledged the potential for a lawsuit should the city adopt the overlay but unanimously approved the ordinance in an effort to protect low-income seniors. The City Attorney’s Office crafted the ordinance after the City of Yucaipa’s senior overlay, which was challenged and held up in court. If the Ordinance Committee approves the ordinance, it will go to the City Council for introduction and adoption. The City Council will look at a proposal to join the Santa Barbara County Fire Department and other fire departments in the county in a combined regional fire communications facility. The city’s fire department believes joining a countywide fire dispatch service will quicken response time and allow departments to serve the closest incidents, regardless of jurisdiction. The Santa Barbara County Fire Department, Santa Maria Fire Department, Montecito Fire Protection District and the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District have committed to joining the regional dispatch facility. The departments anticipate that the Lompoc City Fire Department will also join, though a commitment has not yet been received. The County will fund the outfitting of the facility and staff training, so the city would not have to contribute funds until January 2024. The city would have to sign a five-year agreement and then could renew for three-year periods thereafter. If Lompoc joins the center, the annual cost is $756,216. Without Lompoc’s contribution, the city may pay as high as $790,000. The cost would likely be taken from the general fund. The City Council will hear from the Community Development Department about a plan to issue $200,000 in loans to owners in an affordable condominium complex. The complex, El Zoco, reached out to the city, the county, Housing Trust Fund of Santa Barbara County and Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County when it suffered water damage beyond what the homeowners association could afford. One of the complex’s 17 units is currently unoccupied as a result of the damage, and El Zoco is seeking $450,000 to repair the unit, the common spaces and replenish its reserves. The county will match the city’s investment of $200,000, and the Housing Trust Fund offers $200,000 if repairs extend beyond $400,000. Habitat for Humanity will extend $50,000 in grants among the low-income homeowners. The city’s proposed loans have a simple interest rate of 3% over 30 years. As a result of the loan, the complex would agree to extend the affordability covenant of each unit up to 90 years. Currently, some units are just a handful of years away from being unrestricted. The agreement would mean the units won’t be sold on open market prices for at least 90 years. The City Council meeting begins at 2 p.m. Tuesday. The meeting will be broadcast live on City TV Channel 18 and online at santabarbaraca.gov/cap.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

SBCC beats Glendale 24-6 in football By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

The second half paved the path to a 24-6 victory Saturday for the Santa Barbara City College football team. The Vaqueros beat Glendale at La Playa Stadium for their third win in a row. City College is now 31 for the season. The Vaqueros’ defense was strong. City College forced seven turnovers, five of those in the second half, and blocked two kicks, according to a news release. But City College’s offense struggled early in the game, and by halftime, Glendale was ahead 6-0. Then came the second half. And the game changed. In the third quarter, the Vaqueros successfully ran, passed and scored, and there was no lack of drama. “Redshirt freshman Marcus Bellon accounted for a big chunk of the yardage through both the ground and the air, connecting

with quarterback Trenton Luera for a big 23-yard conversion on 3rd-and-7 down to the Glendale 20,” according to the news release. “A Jorge Figueroa field goal from 29 yards out would cut the lead in half at 6-3. “Midway through the period, Santa Barbara forced its first of five second half turnovers, stopping Glendale quarterback Nicholas Garcia for a loss on 4thand-3 inside the red zone,” the news release continued. “The turnover on downs led to the longest possession of the day for either side, as SBCC embarked on a nine play, 85-yard drive. “Luera hit Bellon for another third down conversion of 20 yards to start things off. Several plays later, he found wide receiver Cyrus Wallace for 28 yards. Then, after an SBCC false start backed them up to the 25, Luera made it 4-for-4 on the drive with a 25-yard touchdown to Jericho-Jon Foster, putting Santa Barbara up 10-6.” The Vaqueros’ defense continued to show it had the right

stuff, as did the special teams. Bellon added to City College’s lead early in the fourth quarter, and with just five minutes left in the game, defensive back Berry Buxton III took his second interception of the day back 75 yards to paydirt, And that led to the sweet final score of 24-6. The Vaqueros have this week off before returning to La Playa Stadium to take on L.A. Pierce at 1 p.m.Oct. 16.

UCSB VOLLEYBALL TEAM ON A ROLL The UCSB volleyball team is continuing its perfect season in the Big West Conference. The Gauchos are 4-0 for league play after their 3-1 victory Saturday over Cal State Bakersfield. On the Bakersfield court, UCSB won three of the four sets — 25-18, 25-22 and 25-20. Bakersfield won 27-25 during its sole victory. UCSB made a whopping 61 kills. The Gauchos’ Michelle Ohwobete

had 14 kills, followed by Rowan Ennis and Abrielle Bross with 12 kills each. Grace Kloss led UCSB with 30 assists. Mehana Ma’a had 23. Macall Peed led all players with 25 digs. Ennis had four blocks on the night. The Gauchos will return to UCSB Thunderdome at 7 p.m. Friday to take on Long Beach State. Check out ucsbgauchos.com later this week for game-related links.

UCSB DOES WELL IN SOCCER The UCSB men’s soccer team finished a perfect first week in the Big West Conference with its 4-1 win Saturday over UC Davis. “Anytime you win any game on the road it’s a challenge, and we’ve had our share of nightmares here at UC Davis,” said UCSB head coach Tim Vom Steeg about the victory at Davis. The Gauchos are now 2-0 in the Big West. UCSB took the lead in

Saturday’s game in the 72nd minute “after senior forward Ameyawu Muntari sent a free kick into the penalty area from the left wing, where it was met by Jared Vom Steeg who flicked it on to the back post, where junior center back Henry Davies smashed it home on his right foot to score his first career Division I goal,” according to a news release. Another two Gauchos goals were scored via penalties, with sophomore attacker Finn Ballard McBride and Muntari scoring their sixth and fourth goals of the season, respectively. The Gauchos sealed their victory with another penalty kick in the 86th minute, with Ameyawu Muntari burying it for his fourth goal of the season. UCSB will be back home Wednesday to face Irvine. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., and live stats will be available at ucsbgauchos.com. The game will be live streamed on the UCSB Gauchos Stretch

Internet portal.

DOS PUEBLOS LOSES FOOTBALL GAME Pacifica beat the Dos Pueblos football team 61-17 Saturday. The Chargers were behind 714 at the end of the first quarter of the home game. And the story stayed the same after that: 10-28 at halftime and 17-41 at the end of the third period, in Pacifica’s favor. But the Chargers had their moments in the sun. Senior running back Cameron Lee and junior wide receiver Dylan Orquiola made the two touchdowns for Dos Pueblos. Junior kicker Greg Tripathi scored two extra points and a 39-yard field goal, according to a news release. Dos Pueblos is now 0-1 for league play and 2-4 for the season. email: dmason@newspress.com

Warriors fall Westmont women’s soccer beats to Lions in Vanguard 1-0 double overtime

email: dmason@newspress.com

Matye played the ball to Shayna Stock, who was making a run on the near sideline, and Stock had more than 20 yards to go before being challenged by a Lion. When even with the 18, Stock juked around a defender to set up her right foot, and she played a perfect cross to the back of the six-yard box, even with the right post. On came Machado, who timed her run perfectly and used her head to drill the ball into the back of the net for the 10 advantage. It was Machado’s second goal of the season, and Stock’s team-high fourth assist. “What a great play by Shayna,” said Jaggard, “To have the awareness to slow down in order to get some people in the box, then get on her right foot and send in a beauty, it was perfect. Amarys couldn’t have done a better job finishing it.” Over the remaining 44:40, Westmont continuously maintained possession and threatened on the Vanguard half of the field. What was most impressive however, was the Warriors’ ability to drain time off the clock while not yielding a single scoring opportunity for Vanguard. Outside of two corner kicks, not once did Vanguard threaten inside the Warrior box. Ninety minutes came and went without the Lions ever recording a single shot on goal, and Westmont moved to 2-0 in GSAC play with a 1-0 win. The Warriors outshot the Lions 15-3 over the match, controlling the pace of play completely. “We’ve really been trying to work on killing the clock,” said Jaggard. “We know it probably drives the fans crazy, but it’s a skill we need to develop for later on in the season. Now, it’s time to get ready for Hope.” The Warriors are back in action Thursday down in Irvine, when they head down to take on Hope International. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Jacob Norling is a Westmont College sports information assistant. email: dmason@newspress.com

Westmont (6-1-1, 2-0 GSAC) utilized a 46th minute goal to defeat Vanguard (3-5-1, 0-2) 1-0 on Saturday. The 19th-ranked reigning GSAC champs opened up conference play last week with two victories. During the opening minutes, Vanguard threw its best punch at Westmont, threatening in and around the box for 10 minutes. However, Westmont held down the fort in large part due to the play of defenders Taylie Scott and Sadie Hill, who held down the backline in front of Kailey Meyer. “That seems like how it always goes against Vanguard,” said Westmont head coach Jenny Jaggard. “It’s always a little bit back and forth in these games. Their style always challenges us, and sometimes we have a tendency to try to match it. Today we really emphasized that desire to play with fire, but also to stay calm. It took us a few minutes, but then, we did a great job.” Fifteen minutes into the match, Amarys Machado had the first legitimate attacking opportunity of the day. With Vanguard possessing the ball in its lower-third of the field, Machado stripped the ball from the Lions’ center back and carried the ball to the top of the eighteen. The freshman had an open shot on a retreating Ashley Levi, and got it past the Lions’ keeper, but it spun wide of the right post, keeping the game tied at zero. The first shot on goal didn’t come until the 32nd minute, when Teagan Matye dribbled through a trio of Lions on the edge of the eighteen, before firing a shot directly into the hands of Levi. Westmont threatened again in the 40th minute, when Kendall Morton came within inches of her first collegiate goal, but instead was thwarted by an excellent kicksave from Levi. At the end of the first half, Westmont had outshot Vanguard 7-2, including 2-0 on goal, but the score remained knotted at zero. “Obviously we’re generating a ton of opportunities right now,” noted Jaggard, “but we’re not finishing them. The thing is, creating those opportunities can be even harder, so I kept saying, ‘You have done the hard part, keep at it and you’ll get the result’.” Twenty seconds into the second half, lightning struck.

For the second game in a row, the Warriors found themselves in double overtime. This time, however, Westmont (3-4, 1-1 GSAC) fell Saturday to Vanguard (5-3-1, 1-1) in heartbreaking fashion at Westmont. The clubs traded goals in the first half, before Vanguard scored in the 104th minute to claim the match 2-1. “We’ve had seven regular season games, and every single one has been decided by one goal,” pointed out Westmont head coach Dave Wolf. “We’ve had two GSAC games, and both have gone to overtime. Thursday we were on the winning end, and today, we experienced the other side of that. That’s soccer sometimes.” In the 14th minute, Westmont relentlessly pressured inside the Lions’ 18 and wouldn’t stop until they found the back of the net. After a handball 20 yards outside the box, the Warriors had a free kick and the first scoring opportunity of the day for either side. Aldo Becerril took the initial kick and sent that ball into the sixyard box, where it ricocheted off of a Lions defender. On the rebound, Zach Godeck let another shot fly, but again, it ricocheted off a Lions defender. The same exact beat went for four more shots, as Becerril, Landon Amaral, and Braeden Pryor (twice) followed up with rebound shots, and each time the attempts were stuffed by the Vanguard defense. Ultimately, the final rebound went to Westmont’s marquee finisher, Samuel Tuscano, and Tuscano fired into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead. “That was a sequence where we looked very determined,” Wolf said. “I think a lot of credit goes to Braeden for causing as much chaos as anyone, and then of course Sam is going to finish those types of opportunities.” A rare misplay by Godeck allowed the Lions to quickly tie things up, when Godeck misshit the ball on an attempted clearance inside the Westmont 18. Godeck took a swing at the ball in an attempt to send it upfield, but instead had it deflect off the side of his foot, and back into dangerous territory. The ball found its way to Stewart Alvayero, who quickly shot it past Mans Ingvarson for the equalizer. “That’s an unfortunate moment, but those things happen,” said Wolf. “Zach has great character; he’ll be the first to take ownership for anything that goes wrong on

his watch. He’s the most important player in our program and we will depend on him for as long as we can.” At the end of the first half, there were 19 shots between the two, 10 of which came from Westmont. But the score remained tied at zero. In the second half, both sides traded fouls more than shots, with the stoppage in play seemingly outweighing the action. With under 10 minutes to play, the Warriors had just one shot on goal outside of their score, and the Lions had just two. In the 84th minute, Westmont had a shot to take the lead when Tuscano crossed a ball in the box that Pryor flicked in the air. Waiting for it to come down was Becerril, who loaded up and fired a shot that made all in attendance gasp. Unfortunately for the home crowd, the shot was sent a yard high of the top-post. Six more minutes passed without a ball finding a net, so for the second game in a row, the Warriors were headed to overtime. Then, much like on Thursday, 100 minutes eventually passed without a score, sending the club into double overtime once again. In the 103rd minute, Westmont had an opportunity to win it when Landon Amaral crossed a ball to the back of the sixyard, finding the head of Meme Mendoza. Mendoza put his shot on frame, but unfortunately right at Vanguard keeper James Choi. Then, a minute later, disaster struck inside the Warriors’ six-yard box. After the Lions threatened inside the six, Vanguard’s Austin Tubbs had possession with his back turned to the net. Michael Palmer challenged Tubbs for possession, and got a piece of the ball at the same time that Tubbs did. While both men got a touch, the ball merely dropped to the ground in the same spot, leading Tubbs to poke it in for the golden goal. “We’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum early,” said Wolf, “and there is a lot of football left to be played. There is such a thing in this sport as losing the score, but winning the day. I think the result we got today will make us better, and encourage us to keep taking the right steps to do so.” Westmont returns to action next Thursday night, when they take on Hope International at 7 p.m. down in Irvine.

Malone’s big swings help fell Oaks By RON SMITH WESTMONT COLLEGE WRITER

The Westmont women’s volleyball (12-7, 6-2) made quick work of their match with Menlo on Saturday afternoon in Murchison Gymnasium, sweeping the Oaks of Menlo (4-8, 2-5 GSAC) by scores of 25-18, 25-10 and 25-21. “I thought, as a team, we came out really strong in the first set and it showed in our score,” said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin. “In the second, we came out fired up and dominated that set. We had a little bit of a hiccup in set three, but I was proud of how our players responded down the stretch. “We needed the leadership of the juniors and seniors, and they stepped up. We had timely kills from Patty Kerman (4 kills, .333 attack percentage) and Audrey Brown (5 kills, .273 attack percentage, 4 blocks) down the stretch. Lexi Malone played great in terms of hitting percentage and blocking.” Malone tallied nine kills, posted a .533 attack percentage and notched five block assists. Down 12-11 in the first frame. Westmont produced an 8-2 run to go up 19-14. Kerman provided two kills during the Warriors’ offensive with Brown providing another.

The Warriors resume play on Friday when they host Saint Katherine in a non-conference affair. Westmont returns to Golden State Athletic Conference action when it hosts The Master’s the following night.

After the teams traded sideouts on the next three rallies, a kill from Jessie Terlizzi (7 kills, .278 attack percentage) was followed by a block from Brown and Sara Krueger to put the Warriors on top by six (2216). Westmont tallied its final three points of the set on kills by Krueger and Kerman and a solo block by Krueger. Westmont controlled the second set from the first serve — a service ace by Keelyn Kistner (17 assists, 5 digs) that was the beginning of an 8-1 run. The Warriors did not let up, uprooting the Oaks 25-10. As a team, the Warriors posted an attack percentage of .381 in the second set, with 10 kills and just two errors on 21 attempts. It was the Oaks who took control early in the third set, jumping out to a 10-4 lead. Westmont, however, chipped away at the Oaks’ advantage, finally pulling even at 18 points apiece. The two teams traded points to get to 20-20 before Kistner served up another ace, prompting Menlo to call a timeout. After the break, the Warriors added to their advantage with a Menlo attack error, a kill from Malone, and a block by Malone and Brown, resulting in a 24-20 score. Menlo staved off match point with a kill from Jaden Scott, but a service error by the Oaks ended the set and secured the Westmont victory. The Warriors resume play on Friday when they host Saint Katherine in a non-conference affair. Westmont returns to Golden State Athletic Conference action when it hosts The Master’s the following night. Both matches are scheduled for first serve at 7 p.m. Ron Smith is the sports information director at Westmont College. email: dmason@newspress.com

Clarification A few clarifying details have been added to the website version of Sunday’s News-Press story about the March for Reproductive Rights. The headline has been amended to “Residents rally at March for Reproductive Rights” because the previous headline suggested that thousands gathered locally instead of nationally. In addition to this, Saturday’s local March for Reproductive Rights was held as part of the fifth annual Women’s March. For the revised version, see newspress.com.

The fourth annual student art show asked students who they appreciated or missed most during the pandemic.

The open house’s main exhibit explored prominent Black figures in Santa Barbara history.

Members hope to grow organization with in-person events GENEALOGY

Continued from Page A1

The large presentation began digital and stretched across a whiteboard Sunday, highlighting key figures in Santa Barbara history. One such person is Bill Downey, the first Black reporter at the Santa Barbara News-Press. His son worked on the project. Jeannine Fox, who volunteers on the outreach team, enjoyed working on the exhibit as one who loves history. “What I found and even in the genealogy society is a lot of history and a lot of genealogy go hand in hand. And I really like that because I love history,” she said. Volunteers often enjoy researching other people’s

families with them or curating timelines and lists for events such as Sunday’s. Alex Grzywacki spent a lot of time Sunday at a display dedicated to local soldiers in the Civil War. He is the senior vice commander of Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. He is part of a group that cleans up a Civil War veteran cemetery annually. Suzi Calderon Bellman is the great granddaughter of one of the soldiers in the First Battalion of Native California Volunteers. Her great grandmother was a cook for the battalion. She missed this pivotal piece of her family’s history until she began researching at the Presidio of Santa Barbara. She honors her great grandparents as key Presidio members and bought

bricks with her parents’ names at the Genealogical Society. Her Union ties gained more meaning when she married her late husband, who has familial ties to Abraham Lincoln. She, one of nine siblings, is intent on keeping the family history alive. Outreach Director Holly Snyder sees people of all backgrounds in the society’s library. Sometimes she helps adoptees research their ancestry, and other times volunteers assist people who need verification to join clubs like the Daughters of the American Revolution. “Once you get started, it just hooks you right away. These days, it’s getting easier to become a researcher because there’s a lot

of resources. And so it’s making it more accessible,” she said. Ms. Avolio, who oversees technology, says older researchers used to write a lot of letters. Now, with more digitization, they are able to access information from their computers. Members get free access to genealogy sites like Ancestry.com. There are shelves of hard copies in the society’s library. Ms. Avolio says not everything is digital yet. Usually, the society plans an annual trip to Salt Lake City to visit the Family History Library. The pandemic has halted those plans. Ms. Fox is waiting until safer conditions to make a research trip to the East Coast to learn more about her paternal line. Although some programming is yet to resume, the Genealogical Society is glad to meet in-person once again. Last year, its open house was online with a remote student art show that featured entries from all over the country. The student art show received the most submissions of any year yet. Elementary students answered the question, “Who helped you most or who did you miss most during the pandemic?” Pictures included crayon drawings of cousins and parents. Some showed the sad realities of the pandemic, like a lack of time with some loved ones. In the society’s library, members gathered around computer screens to try again to fill blanks on their family trees. “There’s a thrill when you are researching, and when you see original documents with your ancestors handwriting,” Ms. Snyder said. “And so it just gets more exciting the more you find out.” The Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next year. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

TRAFFIC, CRIME AND FIRE BLOTTER Santa Maria man arrested after armed standoff SANTA MARIA — A Santa Maria resident was arrested Sunday morning after allegedly shooting a man and firing a gun at law enforcement Saturday night. Santa Maria Police responded to a 911 call at 11 p.m. Saturday that reported a man threatening another man with a gun at a home in the 500 block of West Taft. It was later revealed the suspect shot the

victim at least two times, causing non-lifethreatening injuries. The victim was treated and released from a local hospital. When officers arrived, a shot was fired in their direction, and they saw a subject with a gun running away. Additional gunshots were heard, and officers evacuated residences in the area. Residents received an emergency alert around midnight. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s air support responded to aid the search from above.

The SMPD SWAT team and canine officers conducted the search and located the suspect in a residence in the 500 block of W Polk Street. The suspect had barricaded himself. The Crisis Negotiation Team got the suspect to surrender after several hours of negotiation. Law enforcement recovered two firearms during the investigation, which is ongoing. Jose Manuel Ramirez Magos, 20, was arrested at around 7:45 a.m. and the emergency alert was canceled shortly after. — Annelise Hanshaw

Chris Melancon finds his niche at organic farm in Goleta By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

ith his dog Gracie by his side, Chris Melancon is a picture of contentment as he emerges from his yurt at Fairview Gardens Farm and contemplates his work as the new executive director at the 13-acre certified organic farm. After several different careers at various locations, the 1985 graduate of San Marcos High School jumped at the chance to return to the Santa Barbara area to take the helm of operations at one of the oldest organic farms in California. It’s located on North Fairview Avenue in Goleta. “My vision is to make Fairview Gardens a place that inspires people of all ages to understand where food comes from, to learn how to grow their own food and most importantly, what it feels like to be an interconnected community that’s full of hope for a challenging future,” said Mr.

Melancon. To accomplish this, he sums up his goal in three keywords — feed, teach and connect. “I want to continue to feed the community by growing certified organic produce that is sold at our farm stand and by selling it to restaurants for their menus. By teaching, I want to offer educational programs, especially for children, about the importance of a nature-based diet. We now have about 1,000 kids, who are 13 and younger, visiting the farm each year, and I would like to expand it to have workshops about growing food and small-scale farming for young adults and older adults.” To connect, Mr. Melamcon envisions a space where people can gather and share ideas and resources with the primary objective of resiliency. “I want to offer them an opportunity to think about our time on the farm as planting seeds for hope, and by that I mean we all can consider what our role can be Please see FAIRVIEW on B2

Here’s a toast to the long history of drink objects

R. has a midcentury cocktail set on stand, made in the 1960s by The Riviera Company called the “Royal Crown” barware set. The idea of themed (“royalty,” for example) cocktail paraphernalia goes back to the name “cocktail” itself, to 1806. “Cocktail” means “a strong drink.” We now have a resurgence of the cocktail craze, perhaps because anything midcentury is hot, which was the American middle class’s heyday of the shaker, dedicated martini and highball glass sets, and the “family” cocktail hour — not to mention drinks at lunch and after work and before dinner. Special retro sites like the History Company online offer historic drinking objects such as Hemmingway’s swordfishemblazoned Rocks glass and The Old Knickerbocker Club’s Top-Hat stemmed martini glasses. The idea of a ceremonial presentation predrink set-up, as we see in G.R.’s set, harkens back to a social drink preparation ritual, celebrated in a landmark museum show in 2017 at the Dallas Museum of Art: “Shaken, Stirred, Styled: The Art of the Cocktail.” In that show, we see the history of the accoutrement of drinking from the first 1881 Sterling Tiffany Punch Bowl to today. In the mid18th century, the punch bowl was fashioned in China of porcelain for the very wealthy, today, a collectible called Chinese Export porcelain. These are gorgeous. And what is often not known: They were designed for very strong “soups” of liquor, served with a ladle. But the history of ritualized boozing goes back earlier in the 18th century when taverns were the meeting place. When a gentleman wanted to make a political point and hammer it home, there was a special booze glass to do just that called the

to enhance the resiliency of our community.” Seeing Mr. Melancon out in the field or tending to farm animals belies his eclectic career background range. After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., with a degree in mechanical engineering, he served three years as an airborne ranger in the U.S. Army. In 1992, he left the service to earn his master’s in business administration at Tulane University in New Orleans and was hired to manage software projects at Citibank. “I went from leading 33 soldiers in an infantry battalion at Fort Ord in Northern California to leading 33 computer scientists in the corporate world. I went from preparing people to go to war to leading people who created software that made millions of dollars in a day,” Mr. Melancon told the News-Press. “It was a different kind of pressure.” Five years later, he and a West Point classmate started their own software company in Silicon Valley, OnLink, and sold it in 2000 to

“firing” glass — with a very heavy base, which could be slammed to the table.. Speaking of the 18th to 19th century punch bowl, however, not all people wanted the same drink, communal and ceremonious. Therefore, the publication as early as 1862 of the first cocktail recipe book, Jerry Thomas’ “How to Mix Drink: The Bon-vivant’s Companion.” was published. As the 19th century drew to a close, two important factors contributed to the popularity of mixed drinks: 1) the transportation of ice and 2) the refinements of distillation, which meant that a drinker did not have to hold his nose to drink without adding sugar, citrus,or spices to the unpalatable hooch. You would think that the 18th Amendment would have stopped the forward progress of the drink object industry growing along with the liquor industry. Prohibition was laid down in 1919, but instead of ceasing to manufacture fine drinking paraphernalia, manufacturers turned to home sales of objects. And because Prohibition was so laughable, they created whimsical Cocktail Shakers, such as those in the shapes of skyscrapers, lighthouses, golf bags with ball finials, cocks and chickens (of course), penguins and my favorite, the watering can. These from the 1920s-mid 1930s were, for the upper middle class, created in sterling. Right at this time, the drinkingglass industry really had some fun with Prohibition, and one manufacturer, McKee Glass, designed a flesh-colored tumbler with a naked human female posterior to the top (these were meant to be displayed upsidedown) called — what else? — “Bottoms Up.” Then came the stock crash followed by the Great Depression, which also did not stop the Drinks Accoutrement industry. Instead of sterling shakers, the “family” could purchase chrome or silver plate or glass gear. When the 21st

After I got my degree, I went back to San Francisco and in 2008 launched my own business for monitoring water quality, Spyglass Technologies. It was the worst possible time to start a new company,” he said. In 2013, Mr. Melancon and his former wife co-founded LOLA Sonoma Farms near the town of Sonoma. “It was 12 acres of dormant pasture that we turned into a small diversified farm to grow organic food for the community. We did a farmers market and had a farm stand,” said Mr. Melancon. In January of this year, he decided to leave. “I loaded up my Chevy pickup truck to tow my 1963 Airstream trailer, and with Gracie as my copilot, drove around the West Coast looking for another farm,” Mr. Melamcon said. “In March, I was in Washington state. It was cold and muddy. I decided to call Courtney Andelman, my high school sweetheart at San Marcos who was living in Santa Barbara with

There’s a rich history to the drink object industry, which produced gems such as this Riviera cocktails set.

Amendment repealed Prohibition in 1933, the industry was ready with sleek new Art Deco designs, seriously elegant and streamlined. Objects got whimsical again, such as the Tiki glass, after World War II when the middle class family was reunited, and entertaining was done on the cheap in the home. At this point, we get gold embellished illustrated glassware and all manner of colored glass

shapes. And we get sets like G.R.’s, elegantly presentation-boxed, meant to be given as gifts, and used only (we hope) once a day around 5 to 6 p.m. in a social ritual of mixing a drink. You see that GR’s set features ice tongs, a double jigger, two styles of bottle openers, a citrus knife and a long martini stirrer. What is missing is a wine bottle opener, and that is because this set was used for hard liquor

imbibement. Wine was for sissies. And the set also shows us the maturation of the drink accoutrement industry, because to manufacture such a set would involve plastics, metals, hardware (metal casting), custom fasteners, much engineering, chrome and gold tone flashing and fine packaging. I see these Riviera sets advertised as Mad Men specials online for $50-75.

I volunteered there for two weeks, and then I was offered a job in June.” Mr. Melancon said he is excited about bringing more animals to the farm to join Marilyn, the alpaca, and Audrey, the goat, but what closed the deal for him was the “shared intention for Fairview to reach its full communitarian potential. “The magic of Fairview is already having an enormous impact on the health and wellness of our community,” he said. “I’m here to bring the collective experiences and passions of our dedicated team to make this farm an enduring example of regenerative agriculture aimed at educating and inspiring our guests to do their part to heal the planet.” email: mmcmahon@newspress.com

Aquarius — Saturn in your sign goes direct this Sunday, Aquarius. Are you feeling a little more able to breathe? Now, Saturn in your zone of self isn’t the most pleasant, but a direct Saturn is preferable to a retrograde one. Pisces — Wednesday’s new moon in Libra wanders into your intimacy and rebirth sector, setting a somewhat rocky tone for the week. But you’ve more than capable of handling some intense emotions—aren’t you, Pisces? Venus’ transit into Sagittarius and your sector of career on Thursday maintains these intense vibes.

Thought for Today

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s ofﬁce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Lender, or the Trustee. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (626) 579-5350 or visit www. superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-05-911. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (626) 579-5350, or visit this internet website www.superiordefault.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-05-911 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

This is how Winchester Park II will look after work is finished.

The city of Goleta is installing new playground equipment this week at Andamar, Berkeley and Winchester II parks. And it’s not just swings and slides for the kids. Adults can enjoy the outdoor fitness equipment at Winchester I Park. Installation there also starts this week. In a news release, the city said it would minimize impact on neighbors while installing equipment that will challenge children’s creative, physical and social experiences. Here’s a look at the work, park by park. • Berkeley Park. Installation work will start today and is expected to wrap up by the end of October. The existing playground equipment will be replaced by new equipment for ages 2-5 and 5-12. The toddler area will have a dual bouncer and a climbing feature. The play area for age 5-12 will have a climbing structure. • Winchester I Park: Construction begins on Tuesday and will take about four weeks to complete. The park will have outdoor fitness equipment available for residents 13 and older. Four different machines will be added along the northeast side of the park to allow for maximum green space and ADA accessibility. • Winchester II Park: Work will begin on Wednesday, and the city of Goleta expects the new play area will be ready for use by the end of November. This park is getting a large makeover. It currently has only one swing set, and there will be the addition of two play features with climbers and swings — one for ages 2-5 and the other for ages 5-12. Even with the expanded play equipment, there will still be room for T-ball and soccer activities for children 8 and younger. Seating and shade will also be added for spectators. • Andamar Park: Construction is tentatively planned to start at the end of October and will take about two months. The size of the play area will increase, and the existing equipment will be replaced with swings and a play structure that includes climbing, monkey bars and slides for both toddlers and school age children. Also being added are a merry-goround, benches and shade. During construction, parts of parks or sometimes entire parks will be closed to public access. For more information, go to www. cityofgoleta.org/projects-programs/ parks-open-space/playgroundimprovements.
